Mildred Maxine Lewis was born Aug. 7, 1923, in Pilot Mound to Fred and Myrtle (McCormick) Curry. She attended Dawson High School and was a standout player on the basketball team. She married Raymond Lewis on Jan. 7, 1946. She worked various jobs before opening Lewis Country Flower Shop with her husband, Raymond. She owned and operated the Lewis County Flower Shop for 12 years before retiring.
Tiny will be remembered by those who knew her for her sassy personality and sense of humor, she enjoyed working on puzzles and crocheting afghans for her family, especially the newest members. She loved to play cards and spent as much time as she could at the local casino playing penny slots for the thrill, and she enjoyed the social interaction with others. She was known for making the best cinnamon rolls and Texas sheet cake you ever tasted.
Tiny was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond; her parents, Fred and Myrtle; three sisters; and one brother. She is survived by her daughter, Sharon (James) Price, of Clarion; special niece, Mary Jo (Jerry) Mentzer, of Boone; grandson, Todd (Joni) Price; granddaughters, Tami (Jeff) Bulman and Trudy (Doug) Clawson; great-grandsons, Blake (Sarah) Price, Dillon (Whitney) Clawson and Mason Bulman; great-granddaughters, Kelcie Price, Addi Bulman, Ellie Bulman and Emma Bulman; and great-great-granddaughter, Emily Price.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the family.
